Has any other long term post ops felt this way??

Hello all. I am 14 months post op and have lost 140 pounds. I am down to 140 pounds (isn't that funny). I had been stuck at 156 pounds for about 4 months, and then I had a bowel obstruction and had additional surgery about 6 weeks ago. Due to not eating for 2 weeks, I lost down to 140 pounds. I thought I would be happy at this weight, but now it seems I am becoming greedy. Ideal weight for my size is 138 pounds. I know I shouldn't be stressing about the last 2 pounds, but I am. Actually, I would love to lose another 10-15 pounds. And I am petrified of actually gaining weight, since I heard that most people go below ideal and then bounce back up. Am I alone in feeling this way? Any other long term post ops experienced this? Any insight would be helpful. My mother says I am getting too thin, but I still see myself as too fat. I would appreciate any comments on this. Thanks all.
